KWS Ordered to Pay Family Ksh4 Million Compensation Director General KWS, John Waweru during a Tv interview on March 3,2021 Twitter The Kenya Wildlife Service(KWS) was ordered to pay the family of Josphat Karii Njeru over Ksh 4 million compensation fee after he was killed by a stray Elephant on May 1, 2017. “This court entered judgement for the appellant at Ksh 5 million, less 20 per cent liability that reduced the figure by one million. The appellant is therefore awarded Ksh 4 million-plus special damages of Ksh 45,000,” read the judgement. The decision was made by Justice Robert Kipkoech Limo sitting at the High Court in Chuka. The judge set aside a decision made earlier by the Senior Principal Magistrate’s Court in Marimati dismissing a suit by Jediel Muriithi Njeru, who is the legal representative of Karii’s family.
